Next Manager poll-

[Cjay]

This has just turned into a parallel 'next manager' thread - might as well merge.

Could do

Sorry your thread was the main one.

Someone asked for a poll that's all

[Overman]

I feel this going to be yet another underwhelming appointmeny tbh. We may has have stuck with the 'Hills Have Eyes' fella.

Maybe maybe not, but he's probably seen more live football than you or I probably interacted with more players, probably talked to more people that know about football....

Selecting a manager is a lottery where 40% is an excellent record. I've no clue if he'll hire our new manager or not, I've no clue if the Niners will leave the ball in his court but one things for sure he's in a better position to do that job than you or I if it push came to shove

Lets vote on who we'd select and report transfer rumours that won't come true til the cows come home and let the cards fall where they may.... Part of being a fan is acceptance and then support till the player/manager proves himself or herself inept

Get that bit nailed and your golden

I'd just prefer football people making football decisions.

I don't imagine even Angus would claim this is his specialist skill.

He's an executive, a money man

He isn't an expert on managers or implementing playing philosophy

You can see it in the manager list.

We could have picked those managers, there is nobody a normal fan couldn't have picked out and gone yeah he'll do a job maybe.

That's why I'd have preferred a Director of Football first

When non football people start making on field decisions it rarely goes well.

Look at Chelsea or even Manure last few years.

We will see I suppose.

Hopefully they get it right and we can have have good season.

But it's ridiculous to limit yourself to such a small pool of managers as we have done because we haven't anyone with the knowledge to widen it.

Not bothered about it being mine, I'm just opposed to thread proliferation.

No surprises its Rogers for me. Potter close second. Farke's been there and done it but what does he know about Leeds. And i think the job is too early for Corberan.

[VinnysTattoo]

Potter for me if he’d come.

Both of us need a reset so why not.

If we’d stayed up it would have been a bit of an ordeal. More so now.

Ooh, someone else has voted for Michael Carrick

By training, gaining the knowledge, being experienced in positions linked to on field football decisions

Scouting, recruitment, analysis etc.

Kinnear is none of those things.

His background is marketing, corporate stuff, at Arsenal, West Ham and us.

He has no background in picking managers, he has no background in anything linked to on field football decisions.

He's very similar to Ed Woodward at Manchester United few years back.

He certainly isn't qualified to recommend managers to a venture capital fund who are equally unqualified.

[Aussieleeds]

Is that why Bamford is always injured now ....trying to graft his skin back ?

I did laugh out loud at that.

MARCELO BIELSA HAS JUST TAKEN THE URUGUAY JOB SO DONT WASTE YOUR TIME KENNY

But my point is he's more qualified than us .... a hell of a lot more... Scouting and recruitment he'd be aqauinted with vicariously or by osmosis to start with. Unless he hates football of course and he just goes to work to sort out sponsers and advertisers....

Rodgers out of that lot. But Lucien Favre would also be a good shout. We need someone who isn't walking into the biggest job of their career. No surprises it took a manager like Bielsa to take us up. Hopefully the 49ers show more ambition than Radz.

Favre has been mentioned before on here. Cjay probably. He turned down Palace & someone else in the Prem. Think he’d agreed a 3 year deal with Palace.
Would he come to the Championship. That’s the problem with some of the bigger names

The last six championships have been won by teams with a foreign coach in charge.

Farke me that puts Bielsa in good Kompany.

Statistically Bielsa has the 2nd highest points per match average out of all the managers to have managed in the EFL Championship only behind Keegan.

Not bad for a foreigner with no prior experience of the english game and nable to speak the lingo.

Weasel, Bielsa instigated a fantastic style of football and made players better. I do question a few things but so be it. The question I have for you is “Why has no really big club ever considered Bielsa? They’ve preferred Ancellotti, Ranieri, Conte, Mourinho, et etc - never Bielsa??? Why? What do you and Kenny know that they don’t?

I see what you did there
